Okaaay fellow theme-sequencers, the much-anticipated Jorie blog...
This week I have started anew, with refreshed confidence and a new approach. Sometimes we get so caught up in the process of "making"/ "doing" work, that sometimes just the basics feel like they aren't quite enough. This week, I brought myself back to my primary love, that reeled me in to the art-making process in the first place: painting. So at first, I was dancing around the "To paint or not to paint" question, and with my midterm project I was trying to push different ways of art-making than with my usual painting and drawing. It was a little bit larger and more revelatory and insane than I normally do things, and I'm working towards using the paint and the figure as a vehicle for expressing emotions in ways that aren't painfully and annoyingly literal. Ah, we shall see!

We think that...

- Our own finitude must be prevalent in any enquiry we conduct into the infinite - if only because, given the paradoxes of thought about the infinite, it is clear that we are better able to confront the infinite through analogies and contrasts than head-on.
What we are seeking then is nothing less than an account of our own finitude, and of our relation to the infinite.
